Unlocks around Day 120 (server age > ~120 days). This is where Kingshot's most iconic meta-defining heroes appear — priorities shift dramatically once your server hits this window.
Petra — Cavalry
- Kit: Relies on tarot-card style random effects. Her "Change of Fate" skill can deal up to 600% damage on a lucky proc; "Turn Card" can also provide healing.
- Role: Best F2P cavalry pick for multiple generations running — a long-term investment that doesn't fall off quickly. Strong rally-leader material.
Eric — Infantry
- Kit: A tank/warrior hybrid — boosts his own defense when attacked, has a chance to stun enemies, deals modest damage.
- Role: Garrison-focused; one of the best defender-widget heroes available at this point in the game (alongside Jabel, Zoe, Jaeger, Alcar, Margot).
Jaeger — (role/troop type per your server's roster — check in-game skill kit)
- Note: Some tier-list sources note Jaeger's raw stats beat Marlin's when Marlin's widget isn't active, making Jaeger a solid alternative core hero once available.
F2P Priority Order (Gen 3 window)
- Petra — top cavalry priority, long-term investment
- Eric — garrison core alongside Zoe
- Continue holding Zoe and Marlin from Gen 2 — they still perform well here, don't discard them prematurely
- Jaeger if you need a stat-focused alternative to Marlin
Key transition reminder
When your server crosses into Gen 3, don't rush to fully replace a maxed Gen 1/2 hero with a fresh Gen 3 pick at low stars. A 5-star older hero generally still outperforms a 3-star new one — level the replacement up first, then swap your gear over.
